Funeral Poem for Grandma #1

Legacy of Love

A wife, a mother, a grandma too, This is the legacy we have from you. You taught us love and how to fight, You gave us strength, you gave us might. A stronger person would be hard to find, And in your heart, you were always kind. You fought for us all in one way or another, Not just as a wife, not just as a mother. For all of us you gave your best, Now the time has come for you to rest. So go in peace, you’ve earned your sleep,Your love in our hearts, we’ll eternally keep.

Funeral Poem for Grandma #2

We Had a Wonderful Grandma

We had a wonderful grandmother, One who never really grew old; Her smile was made of sunshine, And her heart was solid gold;

Her eyes were as bright as shining stars, And in her cheeks fair roses you see. We had a wonderful grandmother, And that’ s the way it will always be.

But take heed, because She’s still keeping an eye on all of us, So let’s make sure She will like what she sees.

Funeral Poem for Grandma #3

What Can You Say

What can you say to someone who has always been one of the most essential parts of your world; Someone who took you by the hand when you were little and helped to show the way.

What do you say to someone who stood by to help you grow, providing love, strength, and support so you could become the person you are today?

What can you say to let her know that she’s the best there is, and that you hope you’ve inherited some of her wisdom and her strength?

What words would you say if you ever got the chance? Maybe you’d just say,I love you Grandma, and hope she understands…
